VIDEO

The TikTok ban goes into effect in just one day as of this writing. As you can see, many TikTokers have taken this news as the ultimate life destroying tragedy. However, the cavalry might soon be arriving to rescue them in the form of President Donald Trump. Since the ban takes effect on a Sunday that means the ban could be slow rolled until noon the following day when a REAL President officially takes office and freezes or reverses the ban. Oh, and for all you TikTokers now whining about the ban, if it reversed then you are expected to express full GRATITUDE to President Trump for basically saving your social media lives and ending your misery.

The bill provides the President the authority with a 90 day extension.

The deadline is tomorrow. And Biden is still the President. But it's on the holiday weekend so.....

So in theory, the app may still work as Trump is being sworn in. And he can announce a 90 day extension. However, TikTok announced they'll shut down the app tomorrow if Biden is doing nothing.

Trump can pressure Congress to come up with a bill to "save" TikTok.

Or he can try to negotiate ByteDance to sell TikTok to an American company (ByteDance said that TikTok is not for sale).

The law empowers the president to pause the ban for 90 days if and only if TikTok shows it’s in the process of separating from chinese owner ByteDance, i.e., has an impending sale or other divestment in process ...

You're right. We can live without FR. I want the Feds to tell me what to do with my life.

I think I will make this my motto...

Information seems to be flowing faster then anyone is able to comprehend any of it (and toss in the Babylon Bee, well it is good to slow down...)

The total ban is not likely to happen. Trump himself wants TikTok to keep functioning in some manner. The trick will be to buy it from the Chinese. I guess they are done soaking up personal data from oblivious Americans. At least for now.

Must have Social Media. Is life worth it without it?

“They need to get a life is theirs revolves around social media.”

I generally despise “bans” and would be supremely pissed if FR were to be banned...for example.

I was surprised to see news stories in my feed this morning about TikTok. It appears that the independent music industry is using TikTok to introduce new talent to a young audience, making it easier for budding artists to get noticed and build a catalog. Not discussed is why other platforms are not as attractive to newbies.

I know that YouTube and Instagram have been used by TV shows like The Voice and *_got_talent to identify potential acts to showcase. Not so much TikTok, and never heard of the Red whatever platform before.

I'm NOT a social media person. Take my comment with the appropriate amount of salt.
